How Tavo’s ‘Imagine the Impact’ campaign is aiming to make pet car travel safer

2 weeks ago | theenglishhome.co.uk | Sally Coffey

Pets are cherished family members, and yet, according to research from pet car safety specialist Tavo, many of us are poorly informed about how to keep them secure in a car. Tavo estimates that eight million dogs are being put at risk on the UK’s roads, with less than half of motorists who travel with dogs having researched the official pet safety guidelines in the Highway Code, and as many as 59 per cent of motorists admitting that they do not restrain their dog in their car.

The clan history of the Isle of Skye

1 month ago | discoverbritain.com | Sally Coffey

Skye, that detached arm off Scotland’s west coast, separated from the mainland by a narrow strait – now easily accessed via the famous Skye Bridge, or by ferry – is known for her stark and dramatic good looks, like a chiselled model that stands out in a sea of other pretty isles, and yet she hides a dark and tangled history. Like so many of Scotland’s regions, Skye is wrapped in mythology and legends, some of which bear some semblance to the truth, and some of which frankly don’t.

Scotland is more than Edinburgh, or Skye for that matter. Its famously beautiful landscapes are not confined to the west coast, or even the Highlands. They are all around you wherever you go.

The Story of Emily Hobhouse: The Cornish heroine you’ve probably never heard of

1 month ago | discoverbritain.com | Sally Coffey

In the small village of St Ive, in rural Cornwall, stands a rectory house, built in the Victorian era, where a young girl grew up to be hailed a hero thousands of miles away in South Africa, and yet her legacy has been largely forgotten in Britain. It was her work during and after the Second Anglo-Boer War that led many South Africans to hold Emily Hobhouse in such esteem that when she died in 1926, a state funeral was held for her there.
